Happy Easter!

 

Remember coloring Easter eggs?

 

Remember  coloring Easter eggs?

They smelled like iron and vinegar. 

Sometimes they cracked in the jar of dye just as the color began to take.

We kids fought over colors: why did we all want purple and then yellow?

I can't remember one beautiful egg that we made,

but five kids splashing and fussing at the kitchen table

was a magical creation by Mom

who made it happen

for the sake of Easter.
